Welcome to the QLD Branch Homepage.

The QLD Branch RANZCR holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) in July and a General Meeting in February/March each year, open to all QLD Diagnostic Radiology & Radiation Oncology Fellows.

Branch Office Bearers and Councilors are elected at the AGM with Committee meetings held approximately three times per year to coincide with Federal Council Meetings.

The Branch Education Officer overviews the QLD state-wide Radiology Registrar Training Program, with the QLD Radiology Training Network Committee. There are 2 main metropolitan Registrar training locations at the Princess Alexandra and Royal Brisbane Hospitals, but also rotating to the Mater and Royal Children's Hospitals. Non-metropolitan training rotations include the Gold Coast, Nambour, Redcliffe, Ipswich, Caboolture and Townsville Hospitals.

One weekend each year a CME Accredited QLD Branch Annual Scientific Meeting is held, except in those years when the RANZCR ASM is in Queensland. The Branch also provides three awards each year - the Uhr-Clarke Bursary to QLD RANZCR Student Members and two Hugo Flecker Memorial Prizes (one for Radiology and Radiation Oncology) to QUT Applied Science Students.

The Branch Chairman also regularly attends the Annual RANZCR Branch Chairs and Executive Meeting and also the two monthly the QLD Combined College Chairs Meeting which is chaired by the President of the AMAQ.

CPD Program for Rural Fellows

The Victorian Branch has been instrumental in facilitating innovative CPD programs for Rural Fellows. Through funding from the Support Scheme for Rural Specialists, a joint initiative of the Commonwealth of Health and Ageing and the Committee of Presidents of Medical Colleges, the RANZCR provides four state of the art programs that give rural and regional specialists the same opportunities as their city colleagues to meet, discuss cases and at the same time add to their CPD points. These programs are coordinated by the Victorian Branch on behalf of the College and the Faculty of Radiation Oncology:

  • Case reviews from the Alfred Hospital Radiology Team
  • RANZCR Victorian Branch Monthly Scientific Meetings
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Videoconference Series “Current Issues in Oncology for Medical Specialists”

Click here for further details of these programs and how to get involved.

INSIDE NEWS
Update on the Registration of International Medical Graduates
By national agreement, all jurisdictions have introduced consistent assessment and registration pathways for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) in addition to the existing Australian Medical Council (AMC) examination pathway.
Unholy Alliances
RANZCR has written to the Department of Health and Ageing calling for a moratorium on business arrangements between specialists and radiologists regarding ownership of imaging facilities.
Communication in Medical Imaging, and Critical Test Results
Information Technology has made us all more productive and efficient but the technology has come at a cost, reducing opportunities to discuss appropriate imaging ordering with clinicians, and valuable interactions with our patients.
